SGAP Leaders coached students from the Leadership Training Institute at Kennedy High School to present at the Montgomery County Public Schools' Climate Summit. Students created a clue-like game entitled WHO KILLED THE PLANET? to expose tween and teens about the climate crisis as well as provide methods that the students can use to mitigate or adapt to address the crisis.

Our SGAP Leaders and interns developed and launched a series of virtual and in-person community service projects that impacted over 1000 recipients in 2022. Projects may include assisting a local horse farm with a fundraising activity, serving lunch to the homeless, sorting and packing food products for a local food bank, or reading to pre-schoolers. Our interns often lead their own project teams. Past interns have teamed with our partners with Rotary to launch a monarch butterfly garden at local middle school. 1,044 middle and high school students actively participated in our youth-led projects: Encouragement, Gifts for Seniors, Care Cards for Healthcare workers, Park Clean-Up, 911, MLK Day of Service, May Day Bouquet, Brian's Story short film...
